Vegan Banana-Chocolate Chip Cake

This is my favorite vegan dessert recipe. I got it from "American Vegetarian Cookbook" by Marilyn Diamond. Sometimes I throw health concerns out the window and use corn syrup instead of honey. Live dangerously, right?

I made this for a Labour Day BBQ and the only one who turned up their nose was a little boy who I think was tired and hated bananas. This cake is dense, and doesn't really need the chocolate ganache I added on top, but my word, it was tasty. My husband was begging me to make it again, since I don't generally repeat recipes. Then again he has a weakness for chocolate and bananas.1Reply
